I picked this book up on a whim and it turned out great! I'm a fan of true crime, but I feel that a lot of books get too sensationalist. I want to know the background and follow the investigation, not get caught up in all the lurid details.

The reason it's a 4 star book and not a 5 is that the writing could get confusing and there were several times when I had to go back a few sentences/paragraphs and reread in order to parse together what was going on.
